2019 Map of Linda Lake South

About this map

Linda Lake and the expansive Salt Basin dominate this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County. This modern survey illustrates the sparse, arid character of the region, where water management is critical to ranching operations. Significant water features such as Russel Tank indicate localized efforts to collect and store runoff in an environment otherwise defined by ephemeral drainage patterns like Eightmile Draw. The map shows a landscape largely shaped by its topography and the few reliable transit corridors, primarily Ranch Rd 1576, which serves as the primary artery through this remote section of the Trans-Pecos. The presence of large salt flats and basins suggests a geologic history of internal drainage and evaporation, characteristic of the basin and range province.
